Warren,

    I also add flux (I happen to like Battern's) to my joins after
    Pripping (?) and before adding the solder.  I heat the Battern's
    till it relaxes and then add the solder.  I normally use a small
    brush but then the metal is only warm from applying the Prip's. If I
    need to add more flux after the metal is hot, I use the tip of a
    pick. 

    Your interest in using something like brass bristles sounds
    interesting. Suggest trying a small brass brush used in a
    Foredom....cut away all but a few bristles and see how that works.
